National League: Albert Pujols MVP

Albert Pujolsâ€™ MVP award in 2009 comes as his third straight in the National League. Read more below.

The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman was voted MVP unanimously, receiving 32 first-place votes and 448 points. Albert Pujolsâ€™ is the first player since Barry Bonds in 2002 to pull off such a remarkable feat, and all he needs is one more to tie the single season HR run record holder for most consecutive MVP awards.

Which I expect is a different reaction than most people would have upon winning the title of Most Valuable Player. Wouldnâ€™t you say? Nevertheless, when you and everyone else in the world know youâ€™re the best who needs to brag, right?

The top three other contenders in the NL are Hanley Ramirez (Marlins), Ryan Howard (Phillies), Prince Fielder (Brewers).
